You mean something like this:
----------------------------
revision 1.42
date: 2004/08/13 13:34:42; author: agc; state: Exp; lines: +9 -4
Modify pkg_info so that it will only print information on uninstalled
binary packages in the current working directory if -. is given on the
command line. If no -. is given, pkg_info will look for its information
in the ${PKG_DBDIR}.
This addresses a long-held gripe on the part of a number of people,
including myself, which completely violated the POLS.
Bump version for this and previous pkg_admin modification.
----------------------------
It was something we inherited from FreeBSD - I think they used it for
installation purposes.
This wasn't pulled up to 2.0, but the recent PKGTOOLS_REQD bump will
force it to be included anyway.
